Wegner: We’ve got two more to go tonight. Bob [Greenspan], are you about ready?
Greenspan: Well, you know, I’ll tell you a little story. How many of you people read a book called Abbey’s Road: Take the Other? Well, in that book, I wrote a song probably about the middle seventies. I wrote this song, and Ed liked the song enough where he put it in a book, Abbey’s Road. The chapter of that book that he put it in is called "In Defense of the Redneck." Is Dave Petersen still here? Dave, you remember him writing about this song? I’m not really supposed to do this song in public, because some people take offense to it. But since Abbey put it in his book, you can’t take that much offense to it, right?
Voice from audience: [unclear]
Greenspan: That’s it, yeah. So do you really want to hear this song? Audience: Yeah!
Lee: No argument.
Greenspan: See, I never play the song. It’s been a long time, see. (strums guitar) [songs not recorded: "Big Tits, Braces, and Zits"; "Hayduke Lives!"] All right. I want to thank Ed Abbey for all time for putting that song in his book. It also appeared in the April 1979 issue of Penthouse magazine. You be sure to go out and pick that up--it’s only twenty-five years old. Anyway, thanks a lot everybody. (applause)
